  <h2><strong>TLDR;</strong></h2><p class="">Stoup Brewing Company, whose flagship brewery is in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, will host during FIFA’s World Cup 2026 in SeaTac, Washington. </p><p class="">Starting June 1st, Stoup invites imbibers to visit the Old Bank Building, located at 18400 International Boulevard, where its fourth location opens. Current capacity at the Old Bank Building is 250, which supports local food trucks, live entertainment, community-focussed entertainment, and of course an opportunity to enjoy FIFA’s World Cup tournament in the greater Seattle area.  </p><p class="">As this location is one of two designated activation venues in SeaTac, during the World Cup period, expect expanded programming and increased activity from 9 am to 9 pm, those Fridays and Saturdays. </p><p class="">The plan is to currently operate in the space until July 19th. However, if there is enough of a response, the brewery intends to potentially expand operations through 2026. All of which is part of SeaTac’s goal of expanding public venues throughout the city. </p><p class="">More information, including reactions by Stoup Brewing’s ownership, is included in the press release below. </p><h2><strong>Press Release</strong></h2><p class=""><strong>SEATAC, WA —</strong> Stoup Brewing is proud to announce its partnership with the City of SeaTac as an official operator of one of the city’s key activation sites for the FIFA World Cup 2026. As the Seattle region prepares to host matches beginning June 15, SeaTac is emerging as a vibrant hub for fans, residents, and visitors—and Stoup is excited to help bring that vision to life.</p><p class="">Located in the Old Bank Building at 18400 International Boulevard, <strong>Stoup SeaTac City</strong> will serve as a central gathering place throughout the tournament. The site will officially open June 1 and operate daily through at least July 19, with the potential to extend operations through the end of 2026.</p><p class="">The activation site, adjacent to the DoubleTree Hotel, will feature daily match viewings on a large screen, alongside a lineup of local food trucks, live entertainment, and community-focused programming. With a capacity of approximately 250 guests, Stoup SeaTac City is designed to offer an inclusive, energetic environment for fans to come together and celebrate the world’s game.</p><p class="">“Being part of this moment for SeaTac—and for the broader region—is incredibly meaningful to us,” said Co-Owners Brad Benson, Lara Zahaba and Robyn Schumacher. “We’re honored to create a space where community, culture, and soccer intersect in a way that reflects the spirit of this global event.”</p><p class="">Stoup SeaTac City will also serve as the city’s primary Friday and Saturday hub during the World Cup period, with expanded programming and increased activity expected on those days. Operating hours are anticipated to run from approximately 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.</p><p class="">This initiative is part of a broader effort by the City of SeaTac to activate public spaces, support local businesses, and welcome an international audience. In addition to the Old Bank Building site, the City has designated two other activation areas featuring food, entertainment, and community events, one of which - the Bullpen at Angle Lake - will be operated by Métier Brewing Company, another vibrant Seattle Brewery and friends of Stoup Brewing.&nbsp;</p><p class="">Following the conclusion of the World Cup, the City plans to continue investing in these spaces, with long-term community development and programming envisioned as part of a post-FIFA legacy.</p><p class="">More details, including a full schedule of events and programming, will be released by the City of SeaTac in the coming weeks.</p><p class=""><strong>About Stoup Brewing<br></strong>Stoup Brewing is a science-driven brewery rooted in community, known for producing high-quality, thoughtfully crafted beers.

In fact, he’d rather spend more  time focused on the next year instead of looking back. But anniversaries  aren’t spontaneous. Instead, they are constructed on foundations  reinforced by the passage of time, which is what makes them revelatory. </p><p class="">Opened  in April 2020, shortly after the start of the global pandemic  manifested by the novel coronavirus, Sunny Hill opened as a second  dining room for families both local and from afar. Developed to showcase  the uniqueness of the American food experience, owners and founding  chef Jason Stoneburner and promoter Holly Robinson, took guidance from  blue collar recipes and created a menu which showcased garden-fresh  salads, shareable appetizers and entrees, rotating wine, beer, and  cocktails, and all built on pizza. More specifically, Detroit-style  pizza.</p><p class="">Prior to their opening, Stoneburner conceived the approach  of sourcing ingredients from local farmers and producers, after years  working in high-end restaurants and seeing the expressiveness of fresh  ingredients. Unlike traditional pizzerias, which begin with the round or  square “pie”, Jason’s approach was grounded in traditional restaurant  technique. </p><h3><strong>Take, for example, farm-fresh produce.</strong> </h3><p class="">Remarking  on the day of their anniversary, Stoneburner points to their newly  developed spring menu, with items like their Snap Pea Arugula salad.  Made with snap peas and arugula, the dish also incorporates freeze-dried  fresh garbanzo beans, cucumbers, preserved lemons, and salt. If you  read that sentence and are taken aback, you’re not alone. Green garbanzo  beans. </p><p class="">As Stoneburner shares, a unique opportunity like this  doesn’t happen often, where one acquired fresh, albeit flash-frozen,  garbanzo beans. Combined with the other ingredients, the resulting dish  is a troupe of flavors in a bowl. </p>

  <p class=""><strong>Then there are other ingredients which are locally sourced, specifically Sunny Hill’s draft, bottled, and canned beer list.</strong> </p><p class="">At  opening, back in 2020, Sunny Hill touted an expressive-list of local,  fermented producers from the likes of Ballard’s Urban Family Brewing  Company, Interbay’s Holy Mountain Brewing, or Pike Place’s Cloudburst.  Since then, much like their ingredient list, Sunny Hill has continued to  expand to include producers beyond Seattle, or those who, like Sunny  Hill, are developing awareness after opening their own businesses. One  of those, which opened over two years after Sunny Hill, was Bizarre  Brewing. </p><h3><strong>Nestled in the Magnolia neighborhood, in what was  formerly Urban Family Brewing Company, Derek Brown and Colette Boilini  opened their doors in October 2022.</strong> </h3><p class="">With a focus on sessionable  and English-inspired recipes, head brewer and co-owner Derek Brown  sought to stand out amongst the loud and proud American India Pale Ales.  For the duo, it started with a grain-forward approach and continued by  creating a welcoming space for all ages. </p><p class="">Despite their address,  Bizarre has become an attractive community center where parents,  grandparents, couples, and the brewery-curious can sit down and enjoy a  sessionable pint that doesn’t aggravate the palate. And they were making  a name for themselves in local bars, restaurants, and independent  grocery stores with their uniquely designed cans - created by co-owner  Brown. </p><p class="">Eventually, taking notice of each other’s community-minded  approach to their businesses, Sunny Hill and Bizarre Brewing started a  cooperation, with Sunny Hill selecting specific releases from the  brewery, which would complement and benefit from the recipes featured at  the restaurant. This has continued into 2026, with various ales and  lagers, including an Italian-style Pilsner that Derek and Colette are  quite proud of.</p><p class="">So, it couldn’t come as a shock when Sunny Hill’s  owners recognized another year was coming, that Bizarre and the  restaurant collaborated to release a beer in reverence to the  restaurant’s sixth year. </p><p class="">Taking inspiration from previous lagers  featured at the restaurant, Derek, Colette, Holly Robinson, and Jason  settled on a unique, double dry-hopped, Italian-style pilsner, which  uses noble hops along with German and Italian malted grains. The beer  released, this is what the can’s label states, courtesy Bizarre Brewing.  </p><blockquote><h3><strong>“Our new double dry hopped italian-style pilsner was brewed in  collaboration with our friends at sunny hill to celebrate their 6th  anniversary! Sunny hill’s 6th was brewed with a blend of German and  Italian pilsner malts and hopped in the kettle with spalt select,  strisselspalt, and hersbrucker. This celebratory beer was fermented cold  with our house lager strain then double dry hopped with mandarina  bavaria, spalt select and perle.”</strong></h3></blockquote>

  <p class="">Swinging in and trying a pint  from the can, visually “Sunny Hill’s 6th” has a strong, off-white head,  resting on a pool of golden that was slightly hazy. Receding slowly,  what remained was a soft blanket of lace on the surface. </p><p class="">Swirling  and sniffing, notes of lemon zest and grapefruit citrus are front and  center, along with notes of woodsiness akin to, some might say, a grassy  character, along with floral and peppery notes.</p><p class="">Sipping, you  might pick up more of the lemon and grapefruit, along with some  sourdough breadiness, cooking herbs, grassy notes that might inspire  rich earth, and some sweet candy character. Overall, this release has a  medium mouthfeel on the palate, some alcoholic warmth and a lingering  sweetness dotted with some of that grassiness and pepper.</p><p class="">Reviewing  the can, you might notice the unique artwork of a surfer on a slice of  pizza. As both an homage and a unique way to celebrate their  anniversary, co-owner Jason Stoneburner sought commissioned Maine artist  Ty Williams to create a unique art piece in recognition of Sunny Hill’s  anniversary. </p><p class="">A favorite of Stoneburner’s, going back before  Sunny Hill’s opening, Jason was unsure his favorite artist would  commission a piece for the restaurant. Remaining humble, despite their  portfolio which includes the likes of Patagonia, Nike SB, Burton, and  Yeti, to name a few, Williams agreed. The result is emblematic of two of  Jason’s loves - surfing and pizza.   </p><p class="">Released on the anniversary  of Sunny Hill’s sixth-year, “Sunny Hill’s 6th” Double Dry Hopped  Italian Pilsner pairs great with several of the restaurant’s menu items,  including their Snap Pea &amp; Arugula Salad, their “Loyal” pizza  (available in round or Detroit-style square) with its mozz, aged  provolone, parm cheeses and red sauce, or even a plate of waffle fries.  Besides pairing well, it’s great on its own and available at Sunny Hill,  Bizarre Brewing, and Sunny Hill’s sister location, Stoneburner. </p><p class="">With  an eye towards the future, as they navigate the current state of the  world, Jason Stoneburner and Holly Robinson remain filled with positive  optimism, as they celebrate their sixth year, supporting and supported  by the neighborhood, locals, and producers including Bizarre Brewing. As  always, they invite all to stop by either for takeout or to sit-down,  for the first time or the 72nd.</p><p class="">Update: We have since corrected the spelling of Bizarre Brewing. It was previously misspelled. </p>]]></content:encoded><media:content type="image/jpeg" url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58adb6526b8f5b068766d7ee/1776640712878-VA82YCKZV4FOO3308LL2/IMG_0772+Web.JPG?format=1500w" medium="image" isDefault="true" width="1499" height="1477"><media:title type="plain">Six Years, One Crisp Collaboration: Sunny Hill &amp; Bizarre Brewing Toast the restaurant's 6th Anniversary with a Bold Double Dry-Hopped Italian Pilsner</media:title></media:content></item><item><title>Yakima Chief Hops Deepens Collaboration with IGN to Strengthen German Hop Supply</title><category>Industry News</category><category>Press Release</category><category>Washington</category><dc:creator>Northwest Beer Guide</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 18 Apr 2026 21:16:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.northwestbeerguide.com/home/2026-yakimachief-ign</link><guid isPermaLink="false">58adb6526b8f5b068766d7ee:58adbebce58c623de44f6701:69e2bf6fcc529c11af99d83a</guid><description><![CDATA["Our collaboration with IGN is rooted in a shared commitment to quality,

Brewed with Citra, Mosaic, and Citra Cryo hops,  and enhanced  with a water-soluble botanical terpene blend, Kush leans into a  distinctive profile of grapefruit, citrus peel, and tropical fruit  layered over resinous, dank, and grassy notes.</p><p class="">At 7.0% ABV, the  beer delivers a subtly sweet entry balanced by moderate bitterness and a  mouthwatering finish, all wrapped in a medium-bodied structure that  keeps the  experience both bold and drinkable.</p><p class="">“Kush is about  pushing into that resinous, aromatic space in a way that still feels  balanced and intentional,” said Matt Lincoln, Director of Brewing  Operations at Fremont  Brewing. “It’s expressive, a little wild, and rooted in the kind of hop  character that defines great IPAs.”</p><p class="">Kush IPA is available now in limited quantities of 16oz 4-packs.</p><p class="">Orange &amp; Cacao (Barrel-Aged Cuvée)</p><p class="">Orange &amp; Cacao is Fremont’s latest barrel-aged release,  a complex cuvée that brings together multiple layers of flavor and  process. The beer blends an imperial oatmeal  stout brewed with licorice and cinnamon bark, aged in 10-year-old  bourbon barrels, with a second imperial stout brewed specifically for  the blend. The result is then finished with orange zest and cacao nibs,  creating a rich, multidimensional drinking experience.</p><p class="">The final beer  delivers chocolate-forward richness balanced by bright citrus lift, with  underlying notes of anise and cinnamon that add warmth and intrigue.</p><p class="">At 11.0% ABV,  Orange &amp; Cacao pours deep black and opaque, offering a full-bodied,  decadent profile suited for slow, intentional drinking.</p><p class="">“This beer is  all about layering, building depth through blending, barrel aging, and  complementary ingredients,” said Lincoln. “You get the richness of  cacao, the brightness  of orange, and the structure of a well-built stout, all working  together.”</p><p class="">Orange &amp; Cacao is available now in limited release 16 oz. 4-packs.</p><p class="">For more information, visit www.fremontbrewing.com.</p><p class="">…</p><p class="">About Fremont Brewing<br>Fremont Brewing  is an award-winning craft brewery founded in 2009 to brew small-batch  artisan beers made with the best local ingredients.

  <p class="">Press Release</p><p class="">PORTLAND,  Ore. — This month, Von Ebert Brewing is marking its 8th Anniversary  with two highly anticipated collaboration beers with Other Half Brewing  Company from Brooklyn, New York. </p><p class="">“While  we make award-winning beer in many styles, it made sense for us to  stick with what we’re most known for – Pilsners and IPAs,” said Sam  Pecoraro, brewmaster of Von Ebert Brewing. “Von Ebert Brewing is always  looking to produce beers ‘where tradition meets evolution’ and so these  collaborations are a perfect way to celebrate us doing that for eight  years.”&nbsp;</p><p class="">The  8th Anniversary Pilsner is 5.0% ABV with strawberry, passionfruit and  noble notes, and the 8th Anniversary Hazy IPA is 7.0% with mango, peach  and grapefruit notes. Both beers will be available at all Von Ebert  Brewing locations in draft and 16 oz cans, as well as in some Northwest  retailers, restaurants and bars.&nbsp;</p><p class="">“Known  for our Hazy IPAs, we were very excited to partner with Von Ebert  Brewing to exchange ideas,” said Sam Richardson, co-owner of Other Half Brewing Company. “And it’s fitting two Sams who swapped coasts would come up with some delicious beers that we hope everyone enjoys.”</p><p class="">Von  Ebert Brewing’s N. Mississippi location (825 N. Cook St., Portland) is  now home to food truck Tehuana Mexican Cuisine every day of the week, in  addition to critically acclaimed, HarBQ  on weekends. Beer drinking visitors at all three Von Ebert Brewing  locations can purchase 20-ounce steins of gold medal winning Clubhaus  Lager for $3 all day, every day. And at the N. Mississippi location,  Volatile Substance NW IPA is available for just $5 between noon to 5  p.m., Monday through Friday. Von Ebert Brewing also now offers  non-alcohol hop sparkling waters, hard seltzers with plans for hard teas  and hard punches later this year for those who don’t drink beer. &nbsp;</p><p class="">The  new brewing facility at N. Mississippi allows Von Ebert Brewing  production and distribution to go from 4,000 barrels per year to as much  as 20,000 barrels per year and it’s more than halfway there adding new  offerings. Von Ebert Brewing now sells more of its products in 12-ounce  and 16-ounce cans and expanded its distribution throughout Oregon, Washington, Colorado, California and Japan.</p><p class="">###</p><p class="">&nbsp;Von Ebert Brewing  was founded in 2018 by Tom M. Cook and Tom S. Cook in Portland, Oregon.  Von Ebert Brewing is named after the family matriarch lovingly referred  to as “Grandma Ebert.” The quintessential immigrant story, Grandma  Ebert came to America from Germany via Ellis Island and relied on her  grit and determination to create a successful life for her family here  in the states. In that vein, the brewery has displayed those same traits  and gained success through numerous World Beer Cup medals: 2025 Gold  American Light Lager with Clubhaus, 2023 Gold German-Style Pilsner with  Pils and 2024 Bronze Vienna Lager. Our moniker celebrates Grandma’s  tenacity and honors our heritage. Von Ebert translates loosely to “House  of Ebert” or in full English, “House of the Boar.”</p>]]></content:encoded><media:content type="image/png" url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58adb6526b8f5b068766d7ee/1775158660340-6Y56A0XRSTF7C96GOX65/Other+Half_8th+Anniversary+German-style+pilsner_4-pack-angle+Web.png?format=1500w" medium="image" isDefault="true" width="884" height="884"><media:title type="plain">Von Ebert Brewing Marks 8 Years with Other Half Brewing Through Pilsner and Hazy IPA Collaborations</media:title></media:content></item><item><title>Maui Brewing Co.

  <p class="">Press Release</p><p class="">SEATTLE, WA — Eight Pacific Northwest breweries have come together to release <em>Smoke Break</em>, a collaborative Rauch Märzen built around a simple idea: Rauchbier is great, and more people should be drinking it.</p><p class="">The  project brings together Cloudburst Brewing, Obelisk Beer Co, Varietal  Beer Company, Ladd &amp; Lass Brewing, Ravenna Brewing Company, Urban  Family Brewing Co., Human People Beer, and Single Hill Brewing (who  hosted the collaboration.) It is a larger-than-usual collaboration  centered on a style that does not often get this kind of spotlight.</p><p class="">Rauchbier,  a traditional style from Bamberg, Germany, is brewed with smoked malts  that give it a distinct campfire and beechwood character. It is a cult  classic among brewers, but a very difficult sell across a full  production batch.</p><p class="">That tension is part of what sparked this collaboration.</p><p class=""><em>Smoke Break</em>  is a mid strength Rauch Märzen brewed with beechwood-smoked barley, and  a touch of oak-smoked wheat. The result is a malt-forward lager with  notes of caramel and cocoa, backed by a firm but clean smoky finish that  lingers without overwhelming.</p><p class="">“We  all love Rauchbier, but brewing a full batch on your own means you’re  committing to selling a lot of it,” said Andrew Pytel of Single Hill  Brewing. “This was a way to make something we’re genuinely excited about  and share it across all of our taprooms. If you’ve ever been  Rauchbier-curious, this is probably the best time to give it a shot.”</p><p class="">The  beer will debut April 2 at the Single Hill Brewing Taproom in Yakima  and the Single Hill Commons in Seattle, with other participating  breweries tapping their allotments around the same time. It will be  available on draft and in cans at each location while it lasts.</p><p class="">While  this year’s batch was brewed at Single Hill, the group has talked about  keeping the project going and potentially rotating host breweries in  future releases.</p><p class="">At the end of the day, <em>Smoke Break</em> is a simple pitch. A group of brewers made a beer they love. Now they want people to try it.</p><h3>About the Collaboration</h3><p class=""><em>Smoke Break</em>  is a joint release from eight independent breweries across Washington  and Oregon. The project was created to share a less common style with a  wider audience and to lean into the collaborative spirit that defines  the Pacific Northwest beer community.</p>]]></content:encoded><media:content type="image/png" url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58adb6526b8f5b068766d7ee/1774223856944-O4UITVTUQU5SIX2FV4PV/SmokeBreak_Release_Photo1+Web.png?format=1500w" medium="image" isDefault="true" width="745" height="745"><media:title type="plain">Releasing April 2nd at Single Hill Brewing's two locations, in draft and canned formats, along with partner breweries, get to know Smoke Break.</media:title></media:content></item><item><title>It's now or later for two of Lucky Envelope's newest releases, or stop by March 28th for their first-ever Beer Pickle Day. </title><category>Brewery News</category><category>Brewery Release</category><category>Washington</category><dc:creator>Northwest Beer Guide</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 23:41:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.northwestbeerguide.com/home/2026-luckyenvelope-beerpickleday</link><guid isPermaLink="false">58adb6526b8f5b068766d7ee:58adbebce58c623de44f6701:69b840b8f5579a0ea6874d5e</guid><description><![CDATA[With shared ties to the Keystone State, Triceratops (Rob, aka Yinz) and

  <p class="">It's also about shared experiences in the "Keystone State", a.k.a. Pennsylvania. </p><p class="">With former addresses in PA, Triceratops Brewing's Rob Horn (or Yinz) and the duo of Barry Chan and Raymond Kwan at Lucky Envelope have birthed a lager known simply as Yinz Jawn Lager. </p><blockquote><p class=""><strong><em>With shared ties to the Keystone State, Triceratops (Rob, aka Yinz)  and Lucky Envelope (Barry, aka Jawn) are excited to bring you a  collaboration inspired by our formative Lager brewed by America's oldest  brewery.</em></strong> </p></blockquote><p class="">Inspired by the Amber Lager, this collab' is made with Weyerman malt, corn, and hopped with traditional German Mittlefruh and Saphir hops. Consider this a love letter to the Pennsylvania Dutch of PA. </p><p class="">Currently available in takeout or draft at Lucky Envelope. </p><p class=""><strong><em>Oh, and you can't forget about Lucky Envelope's latest West Coast IPA, Citra West Coast IPA.</em></strong> </p><p class="">Brewed with the hop trinity of Citra, Mosaic, and Chinook Cryo, this expression inspired the brewers and staff to recall notes of orange or grapefruit peel, tropical fruit (more than likely pineapple and passionfruit) and dank pine resin. But, you'll probably recall differently, once you consume a pint or sip from a can. Available at the brewery in takeout or draft. </p><p class="">Finally, if you're looking for something a bit more fermented, Lucky Envelope is hosting their first-ever Beer Pickle Day. </p>

  <p class=""><strong>HOOD RIVER, OR … </strong>Full Sail  Brewing Company, Hood River’s award-winning brewery since 1987, is proud  to celebrate iconic Session Lager’s 21st birthday by debuting two new  lager styles accompanying it on the shelves  this spring.</p><p class="">Built on twenty-one years of consistency and  balance, this 30-time gold medal-winning American craft lager will be  complemented by the launch of two brand-new styles:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class=""><strong>Session Japanese Rice Lager:</strong> Brewed with rice for a lighter body and ultra-clean finish and hopped with Sorachi Ace for defined lemon zest and delicate herbal spice character. Crisp, dry, and sessionable.</p></li><li><p class=""><strong>Session West Coast Lager:</strong> All-malt and hop-forward, featuring Anchovy and Mosaic hops layered for bright citrus and tropical aromatics with firm, clean bitterness and a snappy finish. Classic West Coast character—dialed in for maximum drinkability.</p></li></ul><p class="">Alongside the new beers, Session Classic  reintroduces its original bold, retro-inspired packaging—a tribute to  the design that first hit shelves in 2005. The refreshed look honors the  beer’s 21-year legacy while reconnecting with the spirit  that made it the ultimate “anywhere” beer.</p><p class="">“Session is 21 years strong, and we’re not standing  still,” says Pat Tiernan, CEO of Full Sail Brewing Company. “The new  lagers show exactly where we’re headed—bold flavor, easy drinking, lower  ABV, and built for real-life occasions from  the backyard BBQ to the weekend outdoors—all within a new look that  honors our history and reminds people why they fell in love with it in  the first place. Whether you’re in a lawn chair or on a mountain peak,  it’s the perfect beer for the experience.”</p><p class="">“Lager brewing is a technical  discipline—fermentation control, raw material selection, and balance are  everything,” says Garrett Meier, VP of Operations at Full Sail Brewing  Company. “For the Japanese Rice Lager, we used the Japanese hop  Sorachi Ace to bring defined lemon zest and fresh herbal character over  a lean, rice-driven body and dry finish. The West Coast Lager takes a  different approach—all-malt structure layered with loads of Anchovy and  Mosaic hops to deliver bright citrus, tropical  aromatics, all supported by a balanced bitterness. The right way to  mark Session’s 21st anniversary was to lean into what we do best: clean,  flavorful, highly drinkable beer.”</p><p class="">Starting this spring, the redesigned Session  Classic Lager, Japanese Rice Lager, and West Coast Lager will be  available in draft and 12 oz. cans (6-packs and 15-packs) throughout the  Pacific Northwest and Colorado.&nbsp;</p><p class=""><strong>About Full Sail Brewing Company<br></strong>Perched on a bluff in Hood River, Oregon,  overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, Full Sail is a true craft-brewing  pioneer.

Cook and Tom S. Cook in Portland, Oregon.  Von Ebert Brewing is named after the family matriarch lovingly referred  to as “Grandma Ebert.” The quintessential immigrant story, Grandma  Ebert came to America from Germany via Ellis Island and relied on her  grit and determination to create a successful life for her family here  in the states. In that vein, the brewery has displayed those same traits  and gained success through numerous World Beer Cup medals: 2025 Gold  American Light Lager with Clubhaus, 2023 Gold German-Style Pilsner with  Pils and 2024 Bronze Vienna Lager. Our moniker celebrates Grandma’s  tenacity and honors our heritage. Von Ebert translates loosely to “House  of Ebert” or in full English, “House of the Boar.”</em></p>]]></content:encoded><media:content type="image/jpeg" url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58adb6526b8f5b068766d7ee/1582035895276-WLL4ZE67MT8DY6A93RDO/Von+Ebert+Logo.jpg?format=1500w" medium="image" isDefault="true" width="1214" height="789"><media:title type="plain">Von Ebert has released Tropical Substance IPA, the first of three IPAs that pay homage to their Volatile Substance NW IPA.</media:title></media:content></item><item><title>Part of their rotating "From the Vault Series", Double Mountain Brewery &amp; Cider releases Gravitar Galactic IPA. </title><category>Brewery News</category><category>Brewery Release</category><category>Oregon</category><category>Press Release</category><dc:creator>Northwest Beer Guide</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2026 13:27:00 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.northwestbeerguide.com/home/2026-doublemountain-gravitar</link><guid isPermaLink="false">58adb6526b8f5b068766d7ee:58adbebce58c623de44f6701:69b359ec0895540b467a7181</guid><description><![CDATA[Gravitar Galactic IPA is a hop-forward journey through bright citrus,

  <p class="">Press Release</p><p class="">Double  Mountain Brewery &amp; Cidery is reaching back into the archives and  blasting off into bold hop territory with the return of a fan favorite: <strong>From the Vault: Gravitar Galactic IPA</strong>.&nbsp;Part  of Double Mountain’s rotating “From the Vault” series, which celebrates  beloved recipes from the brewery’s 19-year history, <strong>Gravitar Galactic IPA</strong> revives a beer that helped define the adventurous spirit of the Pacific Northwest IPA movement.</p><p class=""><strong>Gravitar Galactic IPA </strong>is  a hop-forward journey through bright citrus, resinous pine, and  tropical depths. Aromas of grapefruit zest and sticky evergreen rise  from the glass, followed by vibrant notes of passionfruit and ripe stone  fruit. A firm malt backbone provides balance, while a crisp, clean  finish keeps the beer light on its feet despite its interstellar  intensity. This latest iteration features Galaxy hops paired with modern  hopping techniques, a refreshed yeast strain, and a lightened malt bill  for an even more vibrant, drinkable experience.</p><p class="">Originally  released during 2013 in Double Mountain’s early experimental years,  Gravitar quickly developed a cult following. Its return reflects the  brewery’s ongoing commitment to honoring the beers that shaped its  identity; bold, expressive, and unapologetically Northwest.&nbsp;“From the  Vault gives us the chance to bring back recipes that tell our story,”  said owner and brewmaster Matt Swihart. “Gravitar was a beer that pushed  boundaries for us. It’s exciting to share it again with longtime fans  and a whole new generation of hop lovers.”</p><p class="">You may be wondering how Double Mountain is getting away with a name like <strong>Gravitar Galactic IPA</strong>.  As luck would have it, one of the original creators of the classic  arcade game Gravitar stopped by the brewery, and permission to use the  name was unofficially granted. Pretty neat-o, and proof that sometimes  the universe really does work in your favor!

  <p class="">Press Release</p><p class="">SEATTLE, WA – Fremont Brewing is excited to announce a bold new addition to its award-winning non-alcoholic beer lineup: <a href="https://www.fremontbrewing.com/non-alcoholic-hazy-ipa" target="_blank">Non-Alcoholic Hazy IPA</a>.  Available year-round  beginning March 2026, this release joins Fremont’s growing NA series,  which already includes NA IPA, NA Dark, NA Lite, Orange Wit and Hoppy  Spritz.</p><p class="">Crafted with  Mosaic and HBC 586 hops, the new Non-Alcoholic Hazy IPA bursts with  bright tropical and citrus aromas including guava, mango, pineapple and  papaya layered  with lemon, peach and melon. Underneath it all: a soft, lightly sweet  balance, gentle bitterness, and a clean finish that mirrors the texture  and mouthfeel of a full-strength beer.</p><p class="">“From day one,  our goal with NA beer has been simple, which is to make beer that lets  more people be part of the moment. Whether you’re taking a break from  alcohol or  just want a weeknight option, we believe you still deserve a beer that  feels like Fremont,” said Matt Lincecum, Founder and Owner of Fremont  Brewing. “We’ve seen how much our fans value NA options that still feel  like craft beer. This Hazy IPA is the next  step and we’re just getting started.”</p><p class="">Fremont’s NA beers have become a mainstay for craft beer fans looking to moderate without compromise. The brewery’s <a href="https://www.fremontbrewing.com/non-alcoholic-beer" target="_blank">non-alcoholic lineup</a>  is brewed using full fermentation  and then gently dealcoholized, preserving body, aroma and balance.  These beers are available in 12 oz. cans and 6-packs and are shipped  direct-to-consumer across the U.S., making them accessible to fans  nationwide.</p><p class="">Fremont first  started brewing NA beers in 2021 with a mission to bring craft quality  to a growing category. Over time, its lineup has grown to meet a variety  of palates  from the citrus-heavy NA IPA to the roasty, chocolate-forward NA Dark,  the crisp NA Lite, along with a zesty Orange Wit and sparkling Hoppy  Spritz. The addition of a hazy completes the portfolio by delivering  what Fremont fans expect: bold hop character, balance  and approachability.</p><p class="">With interest in  non-alcoholic beer surging driven by wellness trends, younger drinkers,  and year-round moderation, Fremont sees this as an opportunity to stay  rooted  in craft while welcoming new drinkers.<br> <br> For more information, visit <a href="https://www.fremontbrewing.com" target="_blank">www.fremontbrewing.com</a></p><p class="">….</p><p class=""><span><strong>About Fremont Brewing<br></strong></span><a href="https://www.fremontbrewing.com/" target="_blank">Fremont Brewing</a>  is an award-winning craft brewery founded in 2009 to brew small-batch  artisan beers made with the best local ingredients.
